Comment
Part of the 24-coins set "Masterpieces in Silver" with the paintures of the most known artist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a ballet dancer in mid-leap, which was inspired by Edgar Degas' famous sculpture "La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans." This design was created by the artist and sculptor, John M. Mercanti, and it is the first coin to feature this particular design.
